title: Mergify Update Command
description: Update a pull request by merging its base branch into it.
---

The `update` command keeps pull requests current with their base branch. When
the base branch sees frequent changes, it's not uncommon for pull requests to
become outdated.

Instead of manually merging the base branch, you can let the `update` command
take care of it.

## Syntax

```text
@Mergifyio update
```
